The AI Graveyard: 71 AI Tools That Are Gone in 2026 (and What to Use Instead)

Seventy-one AI tools we once listed have shut down, lost their domain or turned into something else, from Sora and GitHub Spark to Phind. Here is the full graveyard, what happened to each one, and a working alternative for every one.

The AI Graveyard: 71 AI tools gone in 2026, with three tombstones under a moon

Every month we run a link check across the nearly 2,000 tools and websites listed on this site. It opens each one's website, follows the redirects and reads what comes back. That check, plus two audits by hand since September, has left us with 71 listings whose product is gone.

Gone means one of three things. The company shut the product down. The domain lapsed and now shows a parking page, a casino or somebody else's startup. Or the site still loads but sells a different product from the one we listed. We do not delete these pages: each one stays up with a red Discontinued label where the Try button used to be, and the full set lives on our Graveyard page, so anyone searching for a tool they used last year gets an answer instead of a dead link.

Here is the whole graveyard, sorted by category, with what each tool did, what happened to it, and a live replacement from our directory. Halloween felt like the right week to publish it.

The AI Graveyard: 71 AI tools gone in 2026, with three tombstones under a moon

Video

The biggest category in the graveyard, and it holds the biggest name.

  • Sora by OpenAI: OpenAI's text-to-video app and website. OpenAI announced on 24 March 2026 that it was ending the Sora app, six months after launch; the app closed in late April and the API was scheduled to follow in September. Sora's video models live on inside ChatGPT, but the standalone app is gone. Use instead: Kling AI, Google Flow or Seedance 2.0.
  • FalcoCut.ai: Automatic short-form video editing for social media. falcocut.ai has returned a CDN error page since October 2026. It was the most searched tool in this whole list, which is why its page stays up. Use instead: Opus Clip or Vizard.
  • Supercreator AI: Scripts, scenes and edits for short videos. The site now shows a one-line notice that the product has been sunset. Use instead: Opus Clip or Clipchamp.
  • Imagine Explainers: Explainer videos from a topic. Its homepage now says it has shut down and points former users to StudyFetch and Honen. Use instead: HeyGen.
  • Humva: Free AI spokesperson videos with thousands of presenters. Trustpilot reviewers quote a 30 December 2025 email announcing the business was closing, with refunds until 6 January; humva.ai now just redirects to itself. Use instead: HeyGen or Creatify.
  • Peech AI: Automated video editing and transcription for marketers. peech-ai.com no longer resolves. Use instead: Descript or Opus Clip.
  • WrpUp AI: Long videos cut into short highlights. wrpup.com stopped answering, first with a broken certificate, now with nothing at all. Use instead: Vizard.
  • Voxqube AI: Video localisation with AI plus human checks. voxqube.com returns 404. Use instead: Rask AI or HeyGen.
  • MagicPublish AI: Create, design and publish content in one place. magicpublish.ai no longer resolves. Use instead: Kapwing.
  • Edenx AI: Star in your own AI-generated movies. edenx.ai no longer resolves. Use instead: Google Flow or Kling AI.
  • AI Sound Copilot: Generated voices, instruments and ambient sound. Its site, waanda.org, returns 404. Use instead: ElevenLabs.

Developer tools

Two of these were run by the biggest names in software. Big does not mean permanent.

  • GitHub Spark: GitHub's AI app builder with a managed runtime. GitHub stopped accepting new users and new apps on 4 August 2026 and ended access on 31 August, after retiring the GitHub Models service that powered Spark's llm() function. Apps already deployed keep running. Use instead: Lovable or Google AI Studio.
  • Firebase Studio: Google's browser workspace for building full-stack AI apps with Gemini. Google announced the sunset on 19 March 2026, turned off new workspaces on 22 June 2026, and will shut it down and delete remaining data on 22 March 2027. Google itself points users to AI Studio and Antigravity. Use instead: Google AI Studio or Google Antigravity.
  • Continue: The open-source AI code assistant for VS Code and JetBrains. Its homepage now reads Continue (acquired by Cursor). The product as we listed it is finished. Use instead: Cursor or Cline.
  • Sitebrew AI: A website generated and shared in seconds. sitebrew.ai now redirects to playscape.gg, a different product. Use instead: Lovable or Framer AI.

Chat and assistants

  • Phind: The AI answer engine for developers. Phind shut down on 16 January 2026. The site now returns only a bot-check page. Use instead: Perplexity or Cursor.
  • Supa AI: A do-anything assistant for presentations, essays and research. supa.inc lapsed and was re-registered by someone else, and the iOS and Android apps have been pulled from both stores. Use instead: ChatGPT or Perplexity.
  • ChatGod AI: ChatGPT-style assistant inside WhatsApp and Telegram. chatgod.ai is listed for sale on Spaceship. Use instead: Meta AI or ChatGPT.
  • OppenheimerGPT: A macOS app that sent one prompt to several AI models at once. oppenheimer.app no longer resolves; it was a GoDaddy for-sale page before that. Use instead: Arena or LM Studio.
  • Predicted Space: AI predictions about future events from current news. The domain is parked. Use instead: Perplexity.

Audio and voice

  • Play.ai: Realtime conversational voice agents and voice cloning. Meta bought the company in July 2025 and the standalone platform closed on 31 December 2025. Use instead: ElevenLabs or Sesame AI.
  • Meta's Audiobox: Meta's research demo for generating voices and sound effects from text. The demo at audiobox.metademolab.com was closed in early 2026 and now loads an empty page. Use instead: ElevenLabs.
  • SpeakPerfect AI: Cleaner audio for videos and podcasts. landing.speakperfect.co no longer resolves. Use instead: Adobe Podcast or Auphonic.
  • Versy AI: Virtual experiences generated from a text prompt. versy.ai is now an Italian real-estate marketing tool, a different product under the same name. Use instead: Spline.
  • Slayer AI: Headline and ad-copy scoring. slayerai.com is a blank page, after a spell as a GoDaddy for-sale page. Use instead: Rytr.

Business and marketing

  • Tome AI: The AI presentation maker that later pivoted into sales research. Both versions are gone; its product pages return 404. Use instead: Pitch or Canva.
  • Aomni: AI sales research and outreach. aomni.com redirected to duet.so, whose terms say Aomni Inc is doing business as Duet, and the domain now shows a waiting-list page for something else again. Use instead: Attio.
  • Trove AI: Conversational surveys instead of forms. gettrove.co now errors, and the last archived copy showed an unrelated site. Use instead: Tally.
  • Web Gremlin AI: A one-click audit of a website's UX, SEO, speed and security. The server has refused connections since the middle of 2026. Use instead: Ahrefs.
  • PitchPower AI: Research on why a prospect needs you, written from their website. pitchpower.ai returns 404. Use instead: Instantly.
  • AI Social Bio: Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram bios from a few keywords. aisocialbio.com shows Bubble's domain-not-supported page. Use instead: Rytr.

Design and 3D

Text-to-3D had a brutal year. Three of the four tools here did the same job, and all three are gone.

Data

What the graveyard tells us

Domains die quietly. More than twenty of these tools did not announce anything. The site simply stopped answering, or the domain lapsed and was picked up by a parking company, a casino or an unrelated startup. Analogenie and Melodisco are both casino sites now. If a tool you use suddenly starts advertising slot machines, your data is not coming back.

A lab's experiment is not a product. Audiobox, Genie, Sora, Spark and Firebase Studio were all run by companies with more money than anyone else on this list. Each was an experiment that was folded into something else or dropped. When the page says Labs, Research or Preview, plan for it to end.

Acquisitions end products. PlayAI went to Meta, Continue to Cursor, Symbl to Invoca, Lalaland to Browzwear, MealByMeal to a training company. The team gets a new home; the thing you signed up for usually does not.

Pivots are the ones a link check misses. Prezo, Augment, Yozo, Careered, Sitebrew and Versy still return a healthy page. It is just a different business. That is why we read the page title and description on every check, and still audit by hand twice a year.

How to avoid being the last user

  • Export on a schedule. Anything you would miss, download it monthly. Several of these gave a few weeks' notice; many gave none.
  • Prefer tools with a free or open-source twin. A local or self-hosted option cannot be shut down under you. Our Self-Hosted Apps list has ten of them, every one scanned for malware.
  • Be wary of early-access shells. A sign-up form with example queries and no product behind it is a sign-up form, not a tool.
  • Check the label before you commit. Every listing on this site shows a red Discontinued mark the moment a product dies, and the Graveyard page keeps the full list.

Browse what is still alive, and still free, in our free AI tools directory, and see this month's additions on the New page.

FAQ

How do you decide a tool is dead?

A monthly script opens every listed website and records the status, the final URL after redirects and the page title. A 403 or 429 is a bot block, not a death, so those are ignored. Anything else that fails is rechecked by hand a few days later, along with the Wayback Machine and the app stores, before it is marked Discontinued.

Why keep the pages up at all?

Because people still search for these tools by name. FalcoCut alone had hundreds of searches last month. A page that says what happened and what to use instead is more useful than a 404, and it keeps the links other sites made to us working.

Can a tool leave the graveyard?

Yes. If a product comes back, the label comes off and the Try button returns. The check runs every month, so a revival is caught within weeks.
